There is a split-second squeal coming from the serpentine belt most everytime that I start my Max. No other noise what so ever though. Seems to be coming from the pulley directley under that adjustment bolt thingy. Anything I can do about it? Thanks.

 

I had the same problem with mine, adjust the tension on the belt and all should be good. You should just have to loosen it a little bit. check your haynes manual (or other) for the proper amount of belt deflection.
Hope that helps
take care.

 

I havent gotten around to getting a manual yet... I losen the tensioner bolt on my pulley right? We do belts at my work (jiffy lube), but I havent really touched one, ill have them take a look at it tommorow. Thanks.

 

loosen ?

 

what year is your car and what mileage? It could still have original belts and may need replacing.

 

Hmm... that's what I thought. A loose belt is going to make that noise - a belt that is on too tight will just wear earlier.

 

1. loosen idler pulley bolt
2. tighten belt tensioner (appropriately)
3. tighten idler pulley bolt
